The Middle Daughter by Chika Unigwe
5.0
I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for am honest review.
The Middle Sister is a heart-wrenching representation of how grief and trauma can create ripples of pain with survivors at times almost drowning and other times floating on top.
Nani is the middle sister of an affluent Nigerian family. She is the quiet sister that follows the rules and often avoids conflict. Sudden loss changes her view of the world, causing her to believe she has lost herself also. We follow her perspective primarily as she has the most difficult experiences of her life.
I loves this book. The trauma and grief are handled with such honesty that I found myself immersed in her thoughts and emotions. There were moments when I had to put the book down to sit in what I had read, and there were other times that I kept going because I HAD to know what would happen next.
Even with TWs, this book is a must read.
